Phil Collins, Tony Banks and Mike Rutherford will reform Genesis for dates in the UK and Ireland in November and December 2020.
Longtime bass player Daryl Stuermer and Phil Collins’ son Nic on drums will fill out the band. Daryl and Nic played in Phil Collins band on Phil’s ‘Not Dead Yet’ 2019 tour of Australia.
At this stage no additional concerts have been announced and it is not understood at this stage if the tour will expand with more UK dates or develop into a world tour.
Co-founder Peter Gabriel will not be part of the tour nor will early guitarist Steve Hackett. Early Genesis fans can see Steve Hackett perform his Genesis Revisited show in Australia in May.
Genesis last reformed in 2007 for the Turn It On Again tour. The final show was on 13 October, 2007 at the Hollywood Bowl.
Genesis are delighted to announce that @tonybanksmusic, @PhilCollinsFeed
and #MikeRutherford will be touring the UK in late 2020! Tickets go on sale on Friday at 9am.
